How do leaders gauge their progress in pursuing quality as a strategy? Start with the organization's vector of measures. Another way is to use the QOS assessment tool. Complete it individually. Then, consolidate the results and learn together. davidmwilliamsphd.com/2024/11/01/qos…

I interviewed leaders like Peter Senge, Don Berwick, Blan Godfrey, John Seddon, Paul Batalden, and Michael Maccoby and asked: What drives them to move beyond the status quo and adopt a strategy grounded in the Science of Improvement? Here's what I learned davidmwilliamsphd.com/2025/03/18/why…

Change requires new routines, discipline, & time. When pursuing quality as a strategy, QI projects help us understand the organization & the challenges of making changes. The learning system adds new methods & learning to build a system of improvement. davidmwilliamsphd.com/2025/03/18/lea…

I am grateful to the leaders at the Quality Leaders Forum at the Children's Hospital Association for inviting me to discuss research on the role of CQOs in driving quality across systems. It was a privilege to introduce the methods outlined in our book, "Quality as an Organizational Strategy."
